A town that small, it has little bearing on how it voted 8 years ago vs. now. Hart's Location now has a 2-to-1 Dem registration edge, and it looks like the "Indies" there are overwhelming Left-leaning. It's pretty clear that most of the people there now weren't around in 2008...

at 6:46 PM local; only FOURTEEN MINUTES before the polls close in Missouri. Anyone who hadn't voted already that heard it would have trouble driving to their polling site and in line by the time polls close at 7.
(It's a US Senate one)

Senate: Akin is significantly under performing Spence. McCacskill is slightly underperforming Nixon. The difference: 6% going for the Libertarian

Lt Governor: Kinder currently has a lead; margin might not be enough to hold up when St Louis comes in.

SoS: Republican has a similar lead; again margin might not be enough to hold up when St Louis comes in.

Treasurer: D has the lead and will win.

AG: D has significant lead and will win.

Constutional Amendment #3: This measure's poor performance makes Akin look good. (23.8% support) This would have given Nixon a 4th vote on the 7 man committee that picks the choices the Governor to choose from.

A: Return control of St Louis Police Department to St Louis: Winning by bigger margin than anything else, will pass

B: Tobacco tax hike: Nos are leading by 9 points; difficult for St Louis to make up difference but still possible.

E: Ban health exchanges without legislative approval. Second most popular issue on the ballot. Will pass.
